Executable Translatable UML for Enterprise Applications - SQA Presentation Canberra, 21 June 2006

Executable translatable UML (xtUML) is a model-driven approach (MDA) to building software applications. While originally designed for embedded systems, this presentation will show how the methodology can successfully be applied to enterprise applications. Currently the Australian Research Council (ARC) runs a project aiming at replacing their current IT infrastructure with a new system employing xtUML. Using the ARC's project as an example, the presentation will give some insight into the architecture of enterprise applications and how xtUML can be utilised in practice to implement them quickly and with limited resources. The presentation will conclude with some measurements and a summary of practical experiences made while working on the first phase of the project.

Dr Malte Stien graduated in 1998 with a degree in Technical Computer Science from the Technical University Berlin. He worked formally in the field of surgical robotics, the subject of his PhD thesis, which included simulation and monitoring of surgical robotics tasks. After coming to Australia in 2002 he first worked for the Australian National University. Currently, Dr Malte Stien works for Software Improvements as a Software Engineer where he provides consultancy services mostly related to xtUML to clients such as the Roads and Traffic Authority (NSW) and the ARC.
